I am in my 4th year on Crappie.Com. Seems like there is always a bunch of newbe's join this time of year. I joined this time of the year too looking forward to the Fall fishing. Sure have learned a lot from a bunch of different guys. Thanks guys.
And welcome to the new crop of newbe's. I hope yall enjoy the sight as much as I have. It really is a part of my life now.

Yea I start to have withdrawals whenever the site go down.:eek::D
You got me to thinking, so I looked at my profile. My two year crappie.com anniversary will be next week.
I went from not having a clue how to catch crappie, to now where I can catch them fairly consistantly. All due to this site....and Jerry Blake...whom I met because of this site.
You all can pat yourselves on the back one more time for me because what I've learned since last March has come from you guys.
Thanks.

Congrats on your 4th year hear DP from one of the new crop of newbies. And thanks for the welcome. Been comin here readin posts since last Febuarary and finally joined in May after the Drs. give me the long face and made me retire.Quote:

Just got set up to spider rig, now lookin to set up to pull crank baits.
One thing bout this place, it sure can get ya to spend some money. Already wantin a new boat (got 2 already), one of them I Pilot TM, more rod holders, more rods, line counter reels, couple a hundred Bandits, new FF, etc., Its ok by me but the wifey aint real happy, she'll get over it.
Lots of good, knowledgable and entertainin folks on this site and I feel this place will become a important part of my life in the future.
Well said DP, I Love the fall too, it's the most wonderful time of the year for me. A cool fall morning with a light fog just above the surface of the water, and then the feel of a solid THUMP. (An addicting feeling that lets you know your alive and a fisherman.)
I have trying a different approach. Since our president extended un-employment benefits, I have been trying to get fired. They won't do it. I might try driving a forklift into the river or something. I could handel 2 years of benefits and fishing.Quote:

I was at Daisy State Park for a Church gathering yesterday and saw where someone painted a high-water mark at where the water level across the road at the boat launch ramp had been that read May 19th, 2009.
The couple of times with Darryll Morris, building and placing cover and fishing have proven invaluable lessons.
Just to get to meet folks like you and discuss technique,baits and look at boat set- ups,poles. By the way my tracker now has the two fishfinders so I can see them at the same time from my bow seat and I have Driftmaster rod holders all around.
I read the arkansas board, and y'all do some good reporting, I would like to say thank you also, have met a couple of you and have some kin folk in horseshoe bend, the horseshoe over by franklin ar. I just live north of beaver lake about 40 minutes and hardly ever fish it, man that lake is big, love reading the reports from there thanks again .

I guess I am still considered a sort of newbie. Be two years in December, but I don't post often........Just come here to read some good stories and look at some of those slabs you boy's in my home state of Arkansas catch. I don't get back to Ar often, and the crappie fishing really stinks where I live on the left coast (Oregon). "Good Lord willing" next year I'll be sitting in a flatbottom boat with my brother, fishing Cane Creek, and Lake Monticello.
